Warmest day of the year, so pop up to Princetown for a nice balmy starlit walk. BUT, it was absolutely perishing!
Never mind, got to be done. No need for torches to head out along the wide track to Hart. It is a really popular way with plenty of mud. The light gently eased and all the stars popped out - very nice. Down to the hairy stone as the ISS soared overhead - a perfect sighting. And to think that for nearly six hour two astronauts had been space walking to fix the solar panels. A reminder of just how clever folk can be if they so choose. Up to Cramber with the lights of Plymouth glowing and the Eddystone on the blink again. Straight into the strong easterly now so it was well below freezing. The trig point hove into view (thank goodness) and a snipe shot up. Along, along to South Hessary which seemed a long way into the sharp wind. And down the track to the Plume. All lit up, doors open and a first - Bill was sat there nursing his pint. BUT, it was actually shut - closes at 9pm apparently and not due to extend its hours until the 1st May.
Hey Ho, but a most pleasant, starlit walk.
